Me personally I would try to use FT partners' offer to accelerate process at Tobin
Take all of them at once, get fired and blacklisted when they find out you've accepted 7 roles, fill your LinkedIn title with "Ex-Goldman, Ex-Blackstone, Ex-KKR....", lateral into the lucrative world of LinkedIn influencer, and sell a recruiting course for $477 to desperate college students.
Make sure your arms are crossed and you are turned sideways looking over your shoulder in your linkedin profile pic to amplify those credentials
I'd go big4 tbh
Easy choice. FT partners. ($140k base as an1 btw)
Are you seriously still at it
Why is SVB not on the list? Alr, I'd guess u have to go to that 140k place
*Ahem*
Tier 1: PJT RSSG, EVR RX, GS, Q, KKR, Bain Cr
Tier 2: Bx Cr, MS Menlo, JPM
Tier 3.. I lost interest
I would probably drop EVR RX down to tier 2 and bump BX Credit up to tier 1, but this actually looks pretty good to me
What? BX credit itself is incredibly mid and only sounds nice cause it's under BX
Menlo is T1, feeder into top tech privates like SLP/IVP. EVR RX is absolutely T1, has sent summers to SL/BX PE and FTs to APO PE (2 annually)/Dragoneer
Love how this joke turned into a serious debate… as rankings always do
GS is tier 1 alongside PJT RSSG if it’s FIG/TMT
Is Bain Credit that good? Looking at LinkedIn profiles of incoming SA, they’re all super impressive, but I didn’t realize it was considered up there with EBs/BB
Wtf is a HYPDWVEE you good didn’t need to name all the alphabets,
HYPSWMCD refers to the tier 1) a) a) a) a) targets: Hofstra University, Yale, Penn State, Skidmore College, Wharton, MIT, Cornell, and DeVry University
when your skin color is vanta black
and your name is Tyrone DeShawn Marquis
There is some really bad advice on this forum. This is what you should do:
- want to leave finance: take GS
- want to do tech: take Qatalyst
- want to do credit/distressed: take PJT RSSG
- want to do PE: take Bain
